I would honestly laugh for about a day straight if they came back and offered Kiffin $12 mil per year at 10 years, and left the confederates spinning in their tears trying to figure out how to hate him again. Would be next level glorious
This is the actual sticking point I believe between Auburn and Kiffin / Sexton...nobody wants to be stuck with another Jimbo contract. I think Auburn is good with 6-7 years, the UM 8 year deal was a publicity fallacy and already moved to 6 years, which faces problems with state just like the other times they've tried to get those longer contracts signed in the past. I think schools are gun shy going that long in terms.
